Zhou Honghai ultimately did not accept Chen Fan's invitation.
Of course, I didn't refuse it directly.
놙놆 tactfully said that since he had an appointment with his old classmates, he had to meet and talk.
Chen Fan expressed his understanding, and said with a smile that Zhou Honghai was welcome to contact him anytime and visit the Chu Jian Internet Cafe.
In the evening, Zhou Honghai rushed to the Tingyulou Hotel in Yunhai City as agreed.
There were only a few people at this gathering, about seven or eight, all of whom were former classmates.
The one who has the best relationship with Zhou Honghai is Han Jun, a young man wearing black-framed glasses and looking very bookish.
When we were in college, we shared a dormitory and had the best relationship.
Later, Zhou Honghai chose to work after graduation, while Han chose to continue his postgraduate studies.
Now that some time has passed, the old friends meet and can't help but sigh.
"Honghai, why do you look old?"
As soon as they met, several old students laughed and joked.
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't mention it."
"What's up? Are you doing well?"
"Do I remember that you went to work in a big factory right after you graduated? Everyone envied you at that time."
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly, "I quit a long time ago."
Seeing his good friend embarrassed, King Han took the initiative to change the subject.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's eat and talk."
Why was this meal so relaxing? Zhou Honghai always felt a little separated from everyone else.
Most of the people here are postgraduate students and have no experience in working in society.
When chatting, their tone and attitude inevitably carry strong confidence and vision for the future.
Zhou Honghai, on the other hand, suffered a beating from society a few years earlier than everyone else, which made him feel inferior to others.
Halfway through the meal, everyone finally got to the point.
Han 떚君 often mentioned starting a business after graduation.
"My mentor told me that although it is an Internet winter and many Internet companies have collapsed, there are also opportunities."
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. As long as we find the right direction for entrepreneurship, we will have a place on the big ship of the Internet in the future."
Zhou Honghai couldn't help asking, "Lao Han, what exactly are you planning to start your business from?"
Han 떚jun smiled bitterly, "There is no clear goal yet."
"When I called everyone together today, I also asked everyone to come up with ideas to see if there are any good ideas."
Hearing this, Zhou Honghai couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
It turns out that these days, this group of students have held many creative meetings, but have not come up with many business ideas.
But most of them were eliminated, and everyone finally made some decisions about the few reliable ones.
놊놆 is optimistic about the idea, and 놆 wants to start a business, so they need start-up capital.
That would be a small amount of money.
Han murmured, "To be honest, after thinking about it, I still think that a portal website is the best."
Zhou Honghai was stunned. "Portal website? Currently, the three major domestic portals are in full force and have almost divided up all the users. It might be a bit late to enter the market now, right?"
An old student opposite said with a smile: "Look, even Old Zhou can see it. Old Han, you are still obsessed with it too much."
"When building a portal website, you will encounter the same problem no matter how big it is."
“Even if you spend a lot of money on promotion and succeed in becoming big, do you think the three major portals will just let you grow?”
"I dare say that if you do, the three of them will definitely join forces to strangle you."
Several students nearby nodded slightly, and it was obvious that everyone agreed with this analysis.
"In my opinion, we should still do advertising and promotion."
"I suggest renting out the house..."
"There is already Soufang.com for house rentals, so we can't be a competitor..."
"We have no people and no money. If we want to succeed in the simplest and most effective way, we must come up with creative ideas that no one else has thought of and strive to make a splash."
Zhou Honghai nodded slightly. He agreed with this point of view.
It is not easy to find an idea that no one else has used before and have a high probability of success.
Han 떚jun suddenly spoke at this time.
"Speaking of this, something suddenly occurred to me."
"I don't know if you've noticed this, but a while ago, a friend of mine from a big company told me that a mysterious person created a domain name trading website."
“It was acquired by HiChina within two months of going online.”
At this time, someone nodded excitedly.
"Ah, I heard that, too."
"I heard that the founder of this domain name network is very mysterious, and no one knows who he is until now."
"Could it be some Internet tycoon?"
Han 떚jun shook his head: "I am concerned about this, what I want to say is... Do you know how much HiChina spent on acquiring Domain Name Network?"
A group of students were stunned, and someone spoke up.
"I heard that the transaction was conducted privately and neither party announced the transaction amount."
"Hwangwang announced in the announcement that it had successfully acquired Domain Name Network."
"Old Han, do you know the inside story?"
Han 떚jun whispered: "I also heard the inside story from my friend."
"It is said that the founder of Domain Name Network is very young and is still a student."
"hiss……"
Several students were shocked for a moment.
“Is this true or false?”
"My classmate worked in a large Internet company, so it was easy for him to get first-hand inside information. He was bound to make mistakes."
“What about the transaction amount?”
Han 떚jun glanced at everyone.
"It is said to be five million."
"How much...how much?"
A group of people were stunned.
"Five million? A forum that was only established two months ago sold for five million?"
"Fuck, are you trying to steal money? Is Wanwang stupid? Is this acceptable?"
"Mr. Zhang, I think you are stupid. Have you never visited the domain name website? If you have visited the domain name website, you will know that the creator is absolutely simple."
Someone murmured with envy: "Brothers, what a shame."
"We are a bunch of genuine IT guys and haven't even started a business yet, but they have already made 5 million in just one month."
"What is Internet smell? This is smell..."
"Five million, I want five million, this generation will want to work..."
Han 떚-kun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He originally wanted to remind everyone that in Internet entrepreneurship, creativity is the most valuable.
As a result, everyone seemed to be attracted by the five million.
Glancing to the side, I saw Zhou Honghai holding the cup, looking sullen and motionless.
"Old Zhou, are you okay?"
"ah?"
Bang.
Zhou Honghai shuddered, and the glass in his hand was knocked over, and beer spilled all over the table.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, you must be drunk, right?"
Learn to joke with a smile.
Zhou Honghai paid no attention to the wine stains on his body and casually patted his wet clothes with his hands.
Then he looked up at his good friend across from him.
"Han, what's the name of the website you just mentioned that was acquired?"
"Domain Name Network. A website that specializes in buying and selling domain names."
"Domain name network...Domain name network..."
Zhou Honghai murmured to himself, why does it feel so familiar?
Oh, by the way. What was the name of the website that Chen Fan created in his store during the summer vacation?
It seems to be called domain name network.
"hiss……"
Zhou Honghai suddenly stopped moving, a look of disbelief on his face.
"Wow...right?"
